Memories - Paper Issues

I am on the Paper Issues Blog today!

Who doesn't love a good pet challenge- Secret Life of Pets!  

I have no problems at all fulfilling this requirement!

I have a cat and a dog now and have always had pets.  

 My previous kitty, Milford, used to be involved in everything.  But, most cats have minds of their own, right?  I was trying to capture pictures of my boy the morning of second grade.  

There Milford is, front and center.  

I sure do miss this beautiful boy. 

I used the August Swag Bag as my inspiration.  It contains bits and pieces of new product that is coming out, or new to the store.  It had some Pinkfresh, 

so I used a 12x12 sheet from that collection as my base. 

I also dug back to the June Swag Bag to use the Glitter Nuvo Pen that was included.  

Go over to our PIFF facebook page and enter the August challenges.  It will give you inspiration, get you motivated and you might even win a prize!

This is the Life - Fancy Pants

Morning!  I am on the Fancy Pants blog today.

We are in the mood to splash and splash around here but the weather is not cooperating!  The pool is open and the kid has his bathing suit ready.  Instead of getting fun photos for this year, I reverted back to last year and a fun day we had with friends at the beach.  The Poolside Collection from Fancy Pants is not just for pools!  I have used it for 2 different beach layouts and could keep going!  

You can see here that I topped the patterned paper with a FREE cut file from Paper Issues.  I used the Wheel from the Seas The Day File.  I backed some of the openings with the 6x6 paper pad, but I ended up covering most of that.

If you look close, I used Nuvo from Paper Issues to add detail to my splashes of water.  I used it on all of the water pieces and in the center of the flowers.  It may not translate well here, but in real life, it looks super cool.  

So, if you don't have any pool photos, grab out those beach photos and get to documenting!

Happy - Paper Issues

Good morning.

When I opened the March Swag Bag and saw the toothpick thingy, I knew exactly what I was going to use for a photo. I have had this photo of my BFF and I from the USMC in 2013.  The gold frame was perfect for Kathy's dress and the purple touches were perfect for mine!

I also threw in some of  Glitter Girl by Shimelle.  

A purple flair from A Flair for Buttons.
